I-210 Calcasieu River High Bridge
- I-210 Calcasieu River High Bridge
The Calcasieu River High Bridge is a concrete pillar vehicular bridge located in Lake Charles, Louisiana. The bridge was built in 1962 as part of the new Lake Charles Loop (a highway expansion that runs over the Calcasieu River, south of Lake Charles, and back up to Interstate 10).
The bridge is about 850 feet long, and 140 feet high. It is approximately the same height as the Capital One Tower (Lake Charles) (previously Hibernia National Bank Tower), and L'Auberge du Lac Resort. It is one of the tallest structures in southwest Louisiana.
The bridge survived the fourth-most intense Atlantic hurricane ever recorded and the most intense tropical cyclone ever observed in the Gulf of Mexico, Hurricane Rita. The bridge's structural rating is 96%, even after surviving two major hurricanes.
